Dynamic Filter [Support Thread]

Could you check, via phpMyAdmin, the products table and see if the Products with Sales/Specials are reflecting those amounts where the field:
products
products_price_sorter

are different ... as in the Sale/Special Price should be in the products_price_sorter ...

If the field:
products_price_sorter

does not contain the Sale/Special Price, do you import your products or manage them all manually in your Zen Cart Admin, as in you do not use Easy Populate or similar programs ...

Thanks for your reply Ajeh, so does Dynamic filter defo use the price sorter field? If so I will have fixed it earlier when I ran an update on it

From what I can tell, this is using the products_price_sorter field and the install I have on a play site seems to be working when Sale/Special are used ...

As long as the master_categories_id are setup right, the the fix for the Products Price Sorter in the Store Manager should update that field properly ...

What do you mean by this?

The Products Price Sorter needs to update prices based on Products Price, Specials and SaleMaker and utilizes the master_categories_id in the process ...

The idea behind the products_price_sorter is it holds the base price or displayed price that is pre-calculated in the Zen Cart Admin to avoid the waste of time in the Catalog in making things like sorting by Price faster ...

The Update for the Products Price Sorter is to update this field and is especially needed in most cases of using an Importer or some other processes that might change prices and is not addressed by the default Zen Cart code ...

The master_categories_id is utilized for many things, including how SaleMaker is calculated, Discount Coupons, Products Price Sorter are managed etc.

A zen site running 1.5.1 is using a link checker to verify his site's link and on the following urls,

http: //Domain.com/index.php?main_page=products_all&disp_order=1&fltCategory[]=19
http: //Domain.com/index.php?main_page=products_all&disp_order=1&fltCategory[]=20

http: //Domain.com/index.php?main_page=products_new&disp_order=6&fltPrice[]=128.01--178&fltCategory[]=23

mostly happening on Category[]=19, 20, 21, 22, & 24

he is getting the following warning on lower left hand corner of the page. And the page shows the header info, left category box and the rest is white.

WARNING: An Error occurred, please refresh the page and try again.
Page displays the same when page is refreshed.

It seems to be coming from the dynamic filter. On this site when selecting New Products or All Products and clicking on any of categories 19, 20, 21, 22, 23 & 24.

Any one with any ideas?

Not encountered anything similar, anything else you can tell us. Has the category got linked products for example ?

What happens if you manually replace the [] with %5B%5D

On my site I don't appear to have the [] it posts the %5B%5D value instead

Also are you using links or check boxes?

Hey Phil when I use the filter this appears [].

I tried using %5B%5D and it goes back to [].

This is crazy.

I am using link and scroll.

Options Box Style Scroll
Filter Style Link

Really a great Mod. I installed in my 1.3.7.1 version and works perfect except with the prices ranges that show me the ranges without tax. For example if I select a price range between 100€ and 200€, the product list show me products until 236€, just 1,18% VAT.

Any ideas about how to the price range selector include the TAX?

Thank you.

Hi, great mod, is there an solution fore issue mentioned above ?

I have just installed the module on a test system ( 1.5.0 ) and only Filter by price option is visible on left side . I would like to see also Filter by manufacturer , what should I check for ?

did you remember to turn off the manufacturers dropdown (alpha filter)?

Bingo ! thank you so much

Have to insist with some issue . This module is compatible with v 1.5.1 ? After tried to install on last version I had this error : PHP Fatal error: Cannot redeclare zen_create_random_value() (previously declared in /var/www/vhosts/xxxxxx.xxx/httpdocs/xxxxxxxx/includes/functions/functions_general.php:626) in /var/www/vhosts/ xxxxxx.xxx /httpdocs/ xxxxxxxx /includes/functions/password_funcs.php on line 86

seems is using version 1.5.0 of functions_general.php . What should I change ?

I think there is an error on tpl_dynamic_filter.php file :

At the end of start attribute link/check boxes* section you always have 2 more div's if no attributes founded . I had to create a conditional if :

if ($attributes->fields['products_options_name'] != '') {
$content .= '</div></div>';
}

Anyone else had this issue ?

I would like to filter only products_quantity > 0 . Can you help me please ?

That would be a good idea and great if someone could get that working. Having an 'In Stock' checkbox at the top of the filter sidebox would be great!

And a price filter including VAT...
